The F700GS has a variant called ‘Style 1’ which comes in non-metallic white paint, red frame, grey/black seat cover and large hand protectors. There is also a basic version available in orange with a grey painted frame, or grey metallic with grey metallic matte finish frame.

The F800GS get a ‘Style 1’ version too. This is the same non-metallic white with a red frame, red spring strut and grey/black seat. A ‘Style 2’ option gets black metallic paint, grey frame and along with the standard hand protectors it also gets LED indicators. A basic version in blue is also available.

There are no mechanical changes to the engines, meaning power outputs of 75bhp for the F700 and 85bhp for the F800 remain.
